1 /5 Kadir Duru: I recently had a very disappointing experience with a lawyer in downtown Chicago. I traveled all the way from DuPage County, which took me about an hour and a half, just to meet with her. Despite having a scheduled appointment, I had to wait over half an hour for her. When she finally arrived, she briefly glanced at my documents, and I could barely understand her because she was speaking so quietly. After about five minutes, she said she would need at least four hours to review everything in detail and quoted a fee of around $2,000 for that. She then charged me $40 for the brief five minutes we spent together, which felt like a complete waste of time and money. Overall, it was an unprofessional experience, and I definitely will not be working with her in the future.
